Okupe Reacts To Tinubu’s Speech

Former Presidential spokesperson Dr. Doyin Okupe has stated that President Bola Tinubu did not disappoint Nigerians in his address to the nation regarding the ongoing nationwide protests.

Okupe, who previously served as the Director-General of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, made this remark while reacting to the President’s Sunday broadcast.

He said: “President Bola Tinubu’s speech has not disappointed Nigerians in that for the first time, the president clearly stated the daunting economic situation his administration met on ground at inception.

“He also amplified the strenuous efforts made by his government to reduce the prevailing crippling and stagnating debt servicing ratio from 97 per cent of earned revenue to 68 per cent.

“In truth, this has been the major cause of our present economic woes and sufferings.

“It is now self-evident that if the fuel subsidy was not removed, it would have been impossible for the government to function.

“And the government will not be able to meet its obligations, without continuing the profligacy of massive and sustained borrowing to fund the subsequent national budgets,”.
